Ed Koch

WASHINGTON — After seven decades plus of a serendipitous and fulfilling if ordinary life, I turned 75 last fall with one major goal unmet: I wanted to have a sandwich named for me.

Truly, I am a man of modest skills and average talent. I shun grandiosity, and so I would never have dreamt of crossing the Bart Bridge or flying into the Bart Airport. I don't fantasize about a Bart Monument or a Bart Museum. In my mind's eye, my grandchildren will never play in Bart Park, cheer for their team in Bart Stadium, swim in Lake Bart or paddle a canoe on the Bart River.
